Dataminer uncovers upcoming xCloud revamp, featuring 4 different tiers

Over the past couple of months we’ve heard reports that Microsoft is looking to once again revamp its Xbox Game Pass subscription platform as well as the company’s xCloud streaming service. Though yet to be officially announced, dataminers have uncovered what appears to be 4 new tiers for its xCloud service – all of which feature a different library of games.

As reported by cloud gaming enthusiast / dataminer ‘redphx’ via BlueSky, Microsoft’s streaming service appears to be undergoing some changes, writing: “Something is incoming to xCloud? Several games have been added to unknown programs called CALLISTO, DIA, EUROPA, and FERDINAND.”

Though purely speculation, ‘redphx’ believes this is likely to be a new 4-tiered system for Xbox’s streaming service, with Callisto (or C) being the highest tier and Ferdinand (or F) being the lowest – with different titles available in each.

As mentioned, we’ve heard various leaks over the past couple of months pertaining to Xbox Game Pass / xCloud, with Microsoft reportedly working on “next generation” Xbox cloud servers with a focus on “lower lag, improved bitrates, and higher resolution options” – as well as new Game Pass tiers including a cloud-only option.

Given that xCloud in its current state leaves plenty to be desired, a revamp of the servers could prove to be a major boon. That said, whether users will be willing to pay extra for better / more stable performance, we will have to wait and see.
